Chris Ries from Danville was fishing in a cove from his kayak and caught 3 Bass and a 4 lb. 4 oz. trout on a Rapala.  The Bass are very active right now says Olin Robertson from Chula Vista, he sent me his picture of his 4 Bass he caught on soft bait which is a 5″ rubber worm.  He said they liked the color green with the orange tail the best.

Yesterday we received a double plant of trout from a private hatchery and some of them looked to be over 5 lbs.  Ivan from Martinez hooked a 3 lb. 8 oz. and a 2 lb. 12 oz. trout trolling with worms.  Renee Morgan from Vacaville trolled an orange Needlefish and hooked 3 beautiful trout.
